The two women who leave the reservation leave for very different reasons and are vulnerable and strong in different ways. The priest is a surprisingly interesting character: he is a recovering alcoholic.

Other than that, it is a pretty good book that was interesting as well as entertaining. I would recommend this book to friends, yes....more
